Improving Access to and Quality of Primary Education

Dubai Cares’ program was implemented in 25 rural schools in five districts in the governorates of Lahej and Abyan and 10 schools in deprived urban districts of the Aden governorate. As part of the program, Dubai Cares worked towards improving enrollment among vulnerable groups as well as the quality of education, ensuring that the schools become truly inclusive to all children, especially girls. The program also ensured more female teachers were employed at the schools. Moreover, at least 20 satellite classrooms were established in distant villages to encourage girls to go to school.
